Plan of a Propocod "Part First." 

Havo, iri tho 2Gn3ral proQrara..;0, u mir:iat'ire projra.^jo of 
"Part First" similar to th it of "Faun-of-the-Glen, ** and i.a- 
mediataly precsdinjj it. Il this pro^^ra,a:io na.ne the two 
recitations :;5ivon by Harry in the previous acts and also 
Kitty's song, "In h^er brother's Dross." Have the other 
son^s, duets .5c. na.iied in t>ie ainiature prorira;a ne all piec- 
es which are not to be sun;^. Have Harry Opdyke, as ^^oi-er- 
il manager, apologize away everything, without exception 
which appears in the prograotje — (other things being sub- 
stituted,) thus satirizing the 'reijeral \matQur habit of 
•making nunercus apologies, briefly referred to in Vet 1st, 
page 0. He would give various fe.ainij:e caprices aiid .aas- 
culir; : laistak :s as t'lo reasons for the cJianges, The oth.^r 
acts re::iain as tJiey nov/ stand. 

Various Amateur avfkwardnensos, ir.- the getting on \ud 
off the stage, introductions, xc, would come in th.is part. 
The \utI'.or has oaitted everything of this kind, in th -• fol- 
lowing I'urlesquG, for t^;e reasor: that less eoiild be gained frc 



it than from the IJurlesque v/ell ^ictod throughO'iL. 

The "Part First" would bef?iri with «Tho ^ix Halves Trio 
-iri'd Ovorture." Tho orchoL'.tra havitjf^ played the introdaction, 
tho nurtain ris3c abOMt fifteon inchon, diGC0V'3riri.^ the lej^s 
of tho throo 2^''-'t"l--^on (i-- drc-.'-j trov/sers) all standing with 
thoir Irjickn to the? Curtain, as i f they v/ora lookinrj at tho 
f>ettin:_f of th'3 scone. The orchastra would bo morrtly depend- 
odcdupcr.' for the music, hero, but tho jentleraen would sin:^ a 
trio supported perhaps by the female voices without, Iii each 
pair of le^^G one foot rises aiid scratches the calf of tho 
ot'^cr loij in time with .nusic; tl^if:; alternately v/iL': the re- 
spective pairs, at first, tlien all tor^ether. At the end, tho 
three pair of lerjs walk off in the same direction. Then 
th© curtail- rices for Part First, with flit in 'Ic, 1. 

In this part the ladies would appear in elegant evetiiri^j 
drotioeo, arj rich as desirable. The gentlemen in dr 3G£-GUitc.

stand the exact moaning of the song, in :ay native Indian lan- 
guage, v;hich T have junt boon rendering. T make the reaark 
v/ithout desinnjj to throw any reflection on the high culture 
of thin audience; and T trust you will not regard mo as ego- 
tistical, if T take the liberty of explaining to you v/h .it I 
have been singing, in the simplest possible English* I have 
been indue 3d to enter into this explanation only at the ear- 
nest request of the author, I told him it wa:^ hardly fair to 
ask an Indian V/ar-Chief tc do a thing of this kind, even to ae- 
coia.uodate an audience; bit the Author insisted that he could^ 
n't thinl: of any other way to begin the play. Trusting, there- 
fore, that I shall succeed in making everything sufficiently 
clear tc you tc enable us to go on v/ith the piece, I will 
proceed.

T beg your pardon ladies and gentleiaen, I dropped into ay na- 
tive dialect again quite unconsciously, \s I was going on 
to remark; ray name is .*^itting-l)own-Bulldog, I ara Chief of 
t'-:e Sioux Nation. The L^nited <^.tates Government has placed 
us on a Roservttion, and it is now trying to civilize us. 
The experiment has thue fir been highly gratifying in its re- 
sults. Nearly all the members of the tribe are dead; — or 
missing . General '^.herman insists that they are missing; 
and he's try it: g tc find them.

Original .Sono. 
'Vords by

A Parson — a nico-lookinrj parison — an: 1, 

As religious as most of my noichbors; 
1* d like to haar -Jiny one dare to -'eny 

That T stick like a brick to my labors. 
But thou[5hts, nov/ and then, that are x)lfjadant and [,'ay 

In the clerical boiiom will riso up; 
V(o can* t keep a sanctified visapt? all day, 

And be turning the .whites of our eyes up. 
Away from his church, and a.v"ay froiXi his books, 
A youn^ Person is r:ot such a Sctint as ho looks, 

(Tr io rjhorus ) 
Away fron") his church, etc, 

II. 

I never could think it excessively wror^g , 

To give v/ay to good spirits and laughter: 
I cannot believe that a dance or a song, 

Ts a crime to be punished hereartv,'r. 
In canting and whining', our days to employ, 

Ts a woaknesri as well as a folly , 
Our li^es v/ere not given to waste, but enjoy, 

f^o I mean that my own shall be jolly. 
Away froiii his ciiurch, and a//ay frou r:is books, 
A young Parson is not such a saint as ho looks.

To bo looked at as despex*ate sinne.s 



['or playing a rubber of whist no^- and then 

Which ii: harrjless as eatin^i our dinners, 

ir billiards are v/icked arid cards are profane, 
A most horrible fate will befall me: 

I've played theni before, and shall play then, again; 
Mover rrdnd what the pious may call me.

At private theatricals, amateur plays, 

T Would fain be a prorr^inont f:3atnro: 
But ah, how my vestry would frown v/ith amaze, 

At so riafjrantly wicked a creature, 
T*'p partial to pleasure, T candidly own; 

Thou^.^h ray flock very nau'^hty may term it. 
T don't iiiean to live in a cavern al-^ne,
